Smart Studio built the room over a 6 week period, using the tried and trusted modular method. The room, while small, has received excellent feedback from Chris and Marc DiSisto who are now working in the the fully operational space, kitted out with an SSL ORIGIN. 

“I wanted to offer a place where artists could stay for a longer period of time and make music without compromise,” Chris commented. “For instance, one of my clients, Dwight Yoakam, likes to camp out and spend weeks making sure his vocals and guitars are perfect. Studio D is designed for that kind of one on one work between artist and engineer.”
